Hate speech has consequences

  • The KW subreddits have a terrifying amount of hate. When they think that they can get away with expressing hatred for the homeless, it gets so ugly so fast. You can get away with saying a lot of disgusting things about poor and homeless people, if you're just a little bit careful about it, and a lot of "reasonable people" will tolerate it or not even notice.

    A lot of the same people start chirping every time gender comes up in one of those subreddits, except they know they have to be about ten times more careful with their slime. A dozen obtuse microaggressions from a dozen different accounts. Someone always gets too emboldened by it or is too stupid to play the game and says something that crosses the line. They're always testing and pushing to see how much hatred other people will tolerate.

    There are hundreds of people in the local subs that are getting something out of openly hating people. It feels like decades of hard won battles slipping away month by month. No wonder they've been bitching about "political correctness" all this time, they thought that having respect for each other was bullshit this whole time and everyone was just pretending to care about not hurting each other.
